versions of series three and four appeared in Look-in in 1971 and TV Comic from July 1973 to June 1974, respectively. The Flaxton Boys continued to be repeated on various networks both in the UK and overseas until the early 1990s. Unusually for the era, its location recordings were on videotape rather than film, except for some limited use of film in the last series. The series has always been fully extant in the Yorkshire Television archives, but until 2015 only the first episodes of the first two series had been released commercially, in the Look-Back on 70s Telly series. The complete first series was released on DVD by Network in July 2015 although in some instances the recordings had decayed (an acknowledged problem with videotaped children's programmes in the Yorkshire TV archive). In 2017, the second series, the third series and the fourth series were released.
